Comcel Deploys Blackberry Translation Tool

Colombia's largest mobile operator Comcel, owned by Mexico's América Móvil, has deployed a solution from US text translation company RantNetwork, the latter said in a statement.

The solution, called Communilator, allows Comcel subscribers that use a BlackBerry smartphone to translate both text and images into 20 different languages. The solution works with text from both documents and photos taken by the user.

RantNetwork is marketing the tool as a way for people to reduce the barriers foreign language present in their business and personal relationships.

"We have been working for years on mobile applications that will change the way the mobile community approaches situations involving foreign languages," company CEO William Grandizio said in the statement."
